why would you want to put a big detachment or contingent with u.s. troops with all that firepower in a place like benghazi and stakes them without expecting that to be a lightning rod for any local militia that wanted to make its bones? >> i would say you're right, you can't have it be huge. you could put a couple dozen people there however, and i think there's a good chance they could have held off this attack, but your larger point i agree with. i agree with your larger point, which is there are going to be some attacks you can't repulse with a small force. that's the kind of uncertainty you live with in a world where you have to operate in dangerous places. i think the larger point is state probably should have done some things differently here. congress probably should have done some things differently here as p.j. says. let's all learn from this together. let's try to make sure we do better the next time, but let's not pretend we can get to a zero defe defect, zero risk foreign policy. >> quickly, p.j., do you know of any evidence, this is get a
